Vision
In many organizations all over the world despite the availability of more and more powerful computers on everyone's desk and communication networks that span the globe, large number of executives and decision makers can not get their hands on critical information in time that already exists in organizations. This is classified as' data in jail'. NADRA's objective is to go beyond the concept of 'data in jail'. For this purpose NADRA has created National Data Warehouse, which is integrated and interfaced with each of the databases other for optimum utilization by all users ensuring economy of effort and resources. NADRA is aiming to bring in this culture and concept so as to meet the basic requirement of IT Super Highway.
Vision Statement
NADRA, the authority, has been conceived as an instrument for implementation of Government's Vision for the next millennium and to combat all evils of undocumented population growth. The most comprehensive and statistical data will be available at the National Data Warehouse. NADRA aims at including more or less every detail of every Pakistani. The quality of data will be monitored through direct inputs from the user and feeder agencies, and countrywide provincial, regional and District Offices. Thus, the NADRA concept envisages availability of data including a Biographic Information Sheet of every citizen and expatriate, encompassing all relevant social and fiscal indicators. The diversity of data available within unified NADRA terminals would ensure smooth planning and meaningful implementation of all governmental policies and projects, leading to good governance, a cherished dream of every Pakistani.

History
National Database Organisation (NDO) was established under Ministry of Interior as an attached department to undertake the function of handling the data being collected through National Data Forms during the Population Census 1998, which was conducted from 2nd March 1998 to 18th March 1998. National Data Forms (NDFs) were designed by a committee of experts encompassing maximum social and fiscal indicators as implements for future planning, documentation of economy and for creation of a comprehensive Citizens' Database. To cater for a cohesive and unified approach in both Registration and Social fields NADRA was created on 10 March 2000 by merging the National Database Organization (NDO) and Directorate General of Registration. NADRA is an independent corporate body with requisite autonomy to remain free of political pressure and interventions for all times to come.
Preamble
NADRA has been established with the objective of introducing a new, improved and modernized registration system for the entire population and things of Pakistan (Refer to NADRA Ordinance 2000 for details). Culminating among other things is the issuance of state-of-the-art National Identity Cards (NICs) to all adult citizens of Pakistan. These NICs shall be duly backed by the computerized database and data warehouse respectively called the Citizens' Database and National Data Warehouse (NDW). The concept was developed to help government in implementing a fact based system of good governance in the country by encountering evils of undocumented population growth and registration of items belonging to citizens and organizations. NADRA had completed the creation of a comprehensive Citizens' Database by the new millennium based on National Data Forms. An upgraded version of citizen's database is being collected now-a-days with the help of National Form Application for issuance of new computerized NICs.

Driving License
The prevailing turmoil and security concerns in the world demand hi-tech identification and verification systems that would allow authorities to be constantly vigilant, thus preventing crimes. NADRA recognizes its responsibility in doing whatever is possible to ensure safety through the use of secure documents, to enhance public safety, hence contributing to national security. To cater to the need, both for homeland security and constant vigilance, NADRA has developed an RFID-based driver license that bears the license holders personal information and stores data regarding traffic violations, tickets issued, and outstanding penalties. The data is stored in two halves in the chip. One half is brunt electronically, so it cannot be changed or modified. This half contains the personal information of the license holder. The second half is the re-writable part, where the history of violations is recorded. The policemen/law enforcement agencies then transfer the data from their PDA to the Central Server through a special key for data security. This installation of RFID chips, makes it harder to counterfeit or steal driving licenses. These RFID tags thus foil identity theft and prevent criminals from using false documents. The license cards are designed so that driving rights are revoked electronically in case of any offence or traffic violation. The system tracks all movement of users of RFID drivers' licenses, while a comprehensive data of violations is stored electronically at the same time. Any outstanding penalties are payable at electronic payment kiosks, while comprehensive data of past violations and outstanding penalties is available to the authorities.

National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has developed a stateof-the-art Vehicle Identification and Tracking System (VITS) based on leading RFID technology.
VITS is being introduced as a sophisticated and high-tech system to help control vehicle related crimes including car thefts, through centrally controlled tracker chip, fixed on each vehicle, known as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A unique Vehicle Identification Number is assigned to all vehicles in Pakistan and issued the same on a secure document to the applicant. The VIN tag contains vehicle information and attributes (colour, engine no., chassis no. etc), and endorsement, to be accessible to law and order agencies through online access. This access can be provided through existing communication networks in mobile and field environments. Data on the vehicle owner registration document will be stored using a robust encryption algorithm to prevent tampering.
VITS gates shall be strategically located and vehicle crossing these designated points shall be recorded (vehicle data as well as photograph). The VITS gates are equipped with cameras and with the day and night capability to photograph vehicles with or without VIN Tags installed. Security personnel would be in a better position to use handheld mobile units to retrieve all information for on-thespot review of vehicle records.
This system would serve as an effective security/deterrence tool against car snatching and other related criminal activities. The VIN would link NADRAs existing network and data warehouse infrastructure, which provides connectivity and information access to all the provinces through one common database. It would thus be mandatory for every vehicle to get VIN.

Every police checkpoint in the country, all major bridges and entry/exit point of cities/towns would be equipped with scanners and antennas to read the details of every car/vehicle.
The vehicles allotted VIN would be automatically identified, photographed, and checked while those without VIN be monitored at the same time. VITS project is being piloted in Islamabad. It will be then rolled out to other parts of the country.

Hints Tips To help you, here are some hints and tips to refer to when applying for any vacancy. DO:
Read the job advertisement very carefully before applying particularly the section outlining required skills and experience. Make sure that you definitely meet all of the minimum criteria required for the job otherwise it may be a mere waste of time. Keep to the point, focusing on the quality of your achievements, not the quantity. Concentrate on your achievements and what you have learnt; this enhances your responsibility list. Use real examples which prove that you can do what you say you can (e.g; products launched, sales achieved, teams managed, etc).
Achievements should be short, bullet pointed statements which include your role, the action you took and the result of your action. Check thoroughly for correct spelling and grammar (but not only with a spell checker); if helpful why not get a second opinion? Prove that you have done your homework and are motivated (use the web, listen to/ watch relevant output and/or research your area, read any relevant press etc).
Superior
Page 45 of 68
MBA II-A
DONT:
Apply if you do not meet the required level of skill and experience sought. List all the one-day training courses you have ever been on, unless any of them are relevant to the job. Use elaborate fonts or colors keep it simple. Forget that a good application is just a tool to get you an interview it will not get you the job alone, the rest is down to you. Write too much be as concise and relevant as you can. Include a separate CV unless you have been asked to do so. Use jargon or complicated language Simple Is Best. Send examples of your work or qualifications to support your application, unless asked for.
Preparing for Your First Interview We are aware how uncomfortable interviewing can be, especially when someone is going into details about your resume or application. Try to relax and you will do just fine. Since we are trying to get to know you better, we will need your help, so be sure to express your strengths and skills clearly. You will also want to explain the areas you feel you need to develop - do not be afraid to share with us. We can provide you with extensive training once you join us, so if you have got a soft area or two, we can help strengthen your expertise in those areas. Get yourself rest! This is very important, even in first interviews that are typically short. In a second interview round, if required, you will definitely want to arrive relaxed, because you may have to discuss in details with the interviewing body. The Interview

MBA II-A
Listen well. Pay attention to the questions asked, and make sure you give concise answers. Be honest! Nobody's going to ask you if you have 20 years of experience. We know you are just graduating. Simply emphasize your strengths for our benefit. Be direct. If you do not understand a question, ask to have it repeated. It always makes a difference when you come across as confident and comfortable.
The Interview Process? We have a panel of interviewers, relavant to the nature of the post. A senior member of the directorate along with the managers and HR staff might be present. Advice You might be surprised to learn that as many as 75% of candidates perform poorly at interviews. In most cases, it comes down to them not having the necessary interview skills rather than them being unsuitable for the job. So if you find interviews a daunting prospect, the following advice should come in quite handy. Pre-interview Preparation The first step towards any successful interview is the preparation.
Research the department and its programming - this will improve your presentation and ensure that you sound confident, organized, and motivated. The interviewers will be impressed by your knowledge and the effort you have put into your preparation.
Know the name of the people who will be on the interview panel. Be sure you know how to get to your interview, and leave plenty of time in which to do it.

Read the job advertisement or web posting thoroughly and carefully. Be clear about how you meet the criteria asked for, especially when it comes to responsibilities you have had and any other abilities that make you a particularly good candidate.
Study the job description, which outlines in detail the content and duties of the job and the qualities expected of the successful applicant.
The Interview Try not to be late, allow yourself plenty of time in case you may not get lost. First impressions count, so dress appropriately.
Be polite. Try to stay focused on the person asking the questions give them your full attention. Sound positive about yourself and your achievements. Dont be negative about your previous employer. Give yourself time to think dont be afraid to pause if you need to think about your answer. Be clear and brief in your communication try not to ramble. Always be prepared to give real life examples to support any of your claims. Ask the interviewer for clarification if youre not sure what s/he is asks for. Focus on your strengths. Avoid jargon. Dont under-estimate your skills and abilities. If you dont know the answer to a question, say so. There is nothing wrong with being honest. Always come prepared with questions of your own to ask at the end of the interview. For example you may wish to know about the working environment, whether you will be working alone or as part of a larger team, what the prospects for training and promotion are etc. All this shows that you have given the role some serious thought and are genuinely interested.
